Jos Buttler 110 not out off 122 balls v Australia Old Trafford in 2018

Score on arrival: 27 for 4, chasing 206

Final score: 208 for 9, won by 1 wicket with 9 balls to spare

England were 4-0 up and looking for their first-ever whitewash of Australia in a series of more than three matches, when Billy Stanlake ran through their top order, reducing them to 27 for 4.

Jos Buttler's phenomenal hitting abilities in limited-overs cricket have never been in doubt, but this time, the situation demanded a grafter to anchor the chase and shepherd the tail through to the finish.

Buttler got to a fifty off 74 balls, slower than four of his hundreds, and went on to seal a 5-0 whitewash with a punch through covers in the penultimate over.
